2. Autotrophs are producers which prepare their own food.
3. These can be classified as photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs
4. The chloroplast helps in preparing food.
5. They obtain energy from inorganic sources by converting light energy into chemical energy.
6. Autotrophs can store light energy and chemical energy.
7. They are placed at the primary level in the food chain
8. They cannot move from their place.
9. Eg - Green plants, algae and a few photosynthetic bacteria etc
Heterotrophic - 1. All members of the animal kingdom
2. Heterotrophs are the consumers who depend on other sources for their food.
3. These can be classified as photoheterotrophs and chemoheterotrophs
4. They do not contain chloroplast, so cannot prepare food.
5. They obtain energy directly or indirectly from other organisms.
6. Heterotrophs cannot store energy.
7. These are placed in the secondary or tertiary level in the food chain.

3. occurs first
4. in protozoa ingestion occurs by endocytosis
digestion - 1. digestion refers to breaking down of food into simple chemical compounds that can be absorbed and used by the body or eliminated by
the body .
2. takes place in mouth, stomach and intestine
3. follows ingestion
4. in protozoa , digestion occurs in the vesticles by cptoplasm.
